The Versatility of Turquoise Jewelry Makes it Ideal For Fashion

This very attractive semi precious stone is actually mined in many countries around the world with the clear blue turquoise from Persia believed to be among those of the highest quality and value. Turquoise produced from India's mines is colored green while those from China come in different hues. Those mined in the southwestern part of the U.S. also come in varying colors and qualities. In the U.S., this semi precious stone has been a major part of the Native American culture that spanned thousands of years.

Origin of color
There are reasons behind the turquoise's original blue and green color. They point to how the stone was formed on rocks that contain minerals like copper and aluminum. The blue turquoise means that it was formed with the presence of copper while the green hue means that it has more aluminum. The yellow green combination, which is a rare mix, means that zinc was present during its formation.

Meanwhile, the black markings you see on the stone are actually the so called matrix or the rock in which the turquoise formed in. And note that the matrix is not always black. It can also be of different hues such as brown and yellow as the turquoise usually forms in varying types of rock. The various colors of turquoise available today in jewelry are already a result of color treatments. Chemicals are normally involved in the process to improve or change the color of the stone.

Use in jewelry
Turquoise is popularly used in jewelry these days. Most of them, however, have already undergone some kind of treatment or enhancement. This treatment is actually what makes the turquoise jewelry more affordable to women who prefer a combination of gold, silver and precious stones.

Natural turquoise stones are very expensive because of their high quality and if jewelry designers will exclusively use only the natural ones, many women won't be able to afford them at all.

Turquoise jewelry may come in individual pieces or sets such as a necklace, earrings and a bracelet. In making a fashion statement, using the set or just your preferred piece can make a woman fashionable and appealing.

Buying and caring tips
Turquoise jewelry can make a great gift to a young lady or woman whatever the occasion may be or even without an occasion. Make sure that you buy your turquoise from reputable stores with staff knowledgeable about the vital aspects of the stone. This stone is commonly imitated that it's sometimes hard to decipher between the genuine and the imitation so be very careful and don't be shy to ask.

Proper handling is always key to maintaining a jewelry's quality. Avoid storing your turquoise together with other gemstones or materials that might rub against the stone and cause damage. Store them away from chemicals and high heat. When cleaning, use only warm water and dry it right away using a soft cloth.

Footwear Industry in Turkey

The shoe industry, which began to appear as a small size industry in 1950, is now a well developed industry. Especially in the 1980's significant investments in machinery parks were made and now over 15 % of the sector has completed its industrialization process. About 70 % of the production in the sector is carried out by semi mechanized production processes and almost 15 % of production is handmade.

According to State Institute of Statistics, the footwear industry employs 26,954 people and the industry has about 4753 companies which are manufacturing various shoes and slippers. Almost 50 % of the total number of companies is active in İstanbul. Konya, Ankara, Gaziantep, Manisa and Denizli, Adana, Malatya and orum (İskilip) are the other important shoe production centers. The production capacity of the 33 leading companies in the sector is 328,100 pairs daily.

In addition, there are many small and medium size establishments in the sector. Turkeys shoe production reached 200 million pairs in 2004. Almost 26 % of the production consists of leather shoes. In addition, there has been a rapid increase in the manufacture of plastic shoes and slippers. The footwear sector relies on Turkish made shoe production machinery as well as shoe parts.

The share of the shoe parts industry in the total shoe industry production is around 5 % and production is very diversified. The soles, heels, casting molds and the welt of the shoes are exported. The shoe parts industry is located in İzmir and the Aegean region, Konya, Gaziantep and in particular İstanbul. The military boots, work and safety shoes industries in Turkey have developed significantly in recent years.

These sectors are producing according to international standards, and shoes with the CE mark are exported to European countries. The footwear sector closely follows the latest trends in the fashion world. Turkish shoe companies prepare their own collections for every season according to fashion trends both in Turkey and in the world. The industry is now concentrating its efforts on training and design.

In this context, with the initiative of shoe industry, the Turkish Shoe Industry Research, Development and Education Foundation was established in 2001. In order to meet the need of qualified personel in shoe design, a new department of education, "The Shoe Design Department" has been opened at Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul, which offers two years courses. In addition to these, every year various shoe design competitions are being organized in order to discover new talents in the field of design.

Heels Over The Years

The formal version of the high heeled shoe is believed to have come into existence during after the year 1533. However, rougher, more informal versions have been known to exist since long back. Egyptian murals dating as far back as 3500 BC show men and women wearing shoes, some of them in heels. It is believed that these heels were mostly worn for special occasions. Butchers in Egypt were also known to wear heels, so as to avoid stepping on the carcasses of animals.

Evidence has also been found to indicate that people in Ancient Greece and Rome wore heeled shoes called 'Kothorni' or 'Buskins'. These shoes would have heels made of wood, and would be worn mainly by actors. Another evidence of the wearing of high heels in the olden times comes from Ancient Rome, during the times when prostitution was considered illegal. During this period, sex workers would wear high heeled shoes for the purpose of identification.

In the Middle Ages in Europe, a product called 'Pattens' was largely used by males and females. It referred to wooden soles that could be readily attached to shoes, so as to avoid stepping on dirt when walking outdoors. 'Pattens' were believed to be the forerunner for the invention of the 'Chopines'. 'Chopines' referred to a more primitive version of the platform heels of today, invented in Turkey in the 1400's.

It was largely used all over Europe until the middle of 1600. Chopines would be up to 30 inches in height, and women would be required to use a cane or the help of a servant to enable them to walk comfortably without tripping over.

Like pattens, chopines would also be strapped to shoes, and were worn mostly by ladies. This practice of making heels as a separate component that could be easily attached to shoes continued till the 1500's.

With the passage of time, this led to the production of heeled shoes as a single piece. The popularity of the heeled shoe went up considerably in the 1500's.

Mostly, they were used by riders, as they prevented the feet from slipping out of the stirrups while riding. The heeled shoe that was originally designed for riders was about 1 to 1-1/2 inches high, and was similar in appearance to the cowboy boots or riding boots of today. In the mid 1500s, the heel became thinner and more stylish.

This change came about on account of the fashionable high heeled shoes popularized by Catherine de Medici, who married Henry, the son of King Francis I of France, in the year 1533. Catherine, who wore high heels on account of her short stature, made them more popular as 'fashion accessories' rather than as 'functional accessories'.

By the year 1580, fashionable high heeled shoes were worn largely by the affluent class of the society, which led to the coining of the term 'well heeled', meaning a person who was well to do. In the beginning of the 1700s, King Louis XIV of France used to wear heels as high as 5 inches, which would have elaborate scenes of battle on them. These heels later became popular as 'Louis heels'. During the century, heels evolved to become more thin, arched and more fashionable.

As they were believed to make feet look more attractive and desirable, laws were passed over time, banning women from wearing high heels to 'capture' a man. Women who violated this law would be declared witches and would have to face trial. In the year 1791, high heeled shoes were completely banished by Napoleon. In spite of this, high heels made a comeback in the year 1790s, courtesy Marie Antoinette with her 2 inch heels. The heels worn during this period were relatively low, just about a wedge in size.
